Not sure what I did wrong with the pic.
My last line should read something like: if you are working on breaks, bearings or suspension you may only need to raise the trailer 4-6 inches leaving the tires in contact with the ground. Lift the axle and remove the tire and let the axle hang from the springs. I’ve done all of the work I’ve listed above using this method.
For a bumper tow raise the tongue using the tongue jack, build two towers at the front corners then lower the tongue until the front is supported y the towers then build towers behind the axles as I did.
